I like this blog, I think that it is very appealing to the eye. The images they use are very basic with little detail. The information provided is about the Foundation Phase, and as a result they have made the page child friendly.
I have looked through a number of Educational Blogs, however, I chosen this one to talk about as it provides lots of information for practitioners and it is easy to read. It includes lots of pdf files, the pdf files are provided by the Welsh National Government, and therefore I feel that these are reliable sources.
Looking through the blog, I noticed that the latest post was published on 12th January 2015. We can see from this that it is up to date and relevant in today's education sector. As well as up to date, it is nice to see that the posts are regularly posted so information is constantly being updated.
Providing a search gadget in the blog allows me to search freely. For example, when completing work I was able to search for 'outdoor play' and it showed me all of the information they had published about play outdoors in the foundation phase.
I think that it is important to notice that the blog is written by the Foundation Phase Coordinator. Their aim is to promote and encourage the curriculum within the City and County of Swansea, this is all part of the Education Effectiveness System. The co-ordinator, Jan Mills is also in charge of promoting the integration of ICT in education and learning. (Mills, 2013)
